MOTION TO VACATE A REFEREE’S DEED PROPERLY DENIED, A SALE PRICE LOWER THAN MARKET VALUE DOES NOT INVALIDATE THE SALE, PURPORTED EVIDENCE OF A CONSPIRACY AMONG THE BIDDERS WAS IMPROPERLY SUBMITTED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN REPLY PAPERS (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined the motion to vacate a referee’s deed in foreclosure was properly denied. The appellant’s alleged that price at which the property sold was too low and was the result of a conspiracy among the bidders. The court noted that foreclosed properties routinely sell below market value and the proof of the alleged conspiracy was improperly submitted in reply papers:

​

A court may exercise its inherent equitable power to ensure that a foreclosure sale conducted pursuant to a judgment of foreclosure “is not made the instrument of injustice” … and, therefore, may set aside a foreclosure sale ” where fraud, collusion, mistake, or misconduct casts suspicion on the fairness of the sale'”… . Absent such conduct, the mere inadequacy of price is an insufficient reason to set aside a sale unless the price is so inadequate as to shock the court’s conscience  … . “[I]n most instances,” the fair market value of a mortgaged property “will exceed the winning bid” on that property at a foreclosure sale … . Northern Blvd Corona, LLC v Northern Blvd Prop., LLC, 2018 NY Slip Op 00428, Second Dept 1-24-18
